The incoming first lady of Zambia Mutinta Hichilema has hailed voters for kicking out Edgar Lungu from the High Office.

Last week Zambians went to polls and Zambia Electoral Commission has declared Hakainde Hichilema as winner after amassing 2,810,777 votes to Mr Lungu’s 1,814,201.

After declaring the winner Hichilema’s wife wrote;

You did it Zambia!

You came out in large numbers, patiently queued for hours and cast your vote with the hope of a better future for mother Zambia. You did your part, you protected your vote.

You were all a part of this campaign. Each of you a campaign manager in his/her own right. Every Facebook, Twitter, Whatsapp share or like made a difference, every word too. Our forward babies and their parents also played a part in these historic campaigns.

We thank and celebrate you. Let us now look forward to new beginnings and to a brighter and better future.

Arise and shine Zambia for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord shines upon you.
